April 05, 2016

The redesigned Service and Lube Trailer (SLT) includes a new chassis and front-end design, expanded storage in the front and rear utility boxes, and a modular design. The modular tank design can hold 440 gallons of fluid in up to eight tanks with combinations of 25, 55 and 110 gallons. Tanks can be used for diesel fuel, engine or hydraulic oil, used-oil reclamation, grease, antifreeze, DEF and other fluids.

The redesigned front-end allows for an additional 100-gallon DEF storage tank and Thunder Creek’s proprietary 2-in-1 closed DEF distribution system. The enclosure is 23 percent larger than the previous model, and the rear utility box is 56 percent larger. The SLT is also outfitted with either a combination generator/air compressor or an optional 3-in-1 welder/generator/air compressor. An optional WorkSight Light Tower with LED lights is also available for performing service work at night.

The trailer is approximately one-third the cost of a service truck and can be transported with a 3/4-ton pickup, the company says. The fenders are removable, and holes are pre-drilled into the frame to move the axle position and ensure proper weight distribution for owners who add features after the initial purchase.
